About 54 miles northwest of Niagara on the edge of Lake Ontario, you'll find the Canadian port city of Hamilton—otherwise known as the "Waterfall Capital of the World." And it’s not just a marketing scheme. According to Smithsonian, due to its location on the Niagara Escarpment, a rock ridge stretching almost 1,000 miles across the Great Lakes region, Hamilton is home to more than 100 waterfalls within city limits. Though the numbers are slightly disputed—Smithsonian reports 156 waterfalls, the most in any city in the world, while the latest tally from non-profit City of Waterfalls put the number closer to 130—one thing is certain: Hamilton has a lot of waterfalls.

But the city reports that many of the waterfalls are situated next to steep drops where the ground can be unstable. In fact, according to the Hamilton Conservation Authority, 30 are inaccessible. (There have also been a few recent rescues at some of the falls.) Fortunately, City of Falls is working to improve accessibility by building up a local trail system (currently there are no clear maps of all of the waterfalls, and some are on private property).

For those headed to Hamilton for the first time (and hoping to perhaps stumble upon waterfall No. 157?) Jay Poel, a lead volunteer for City of Waterfalls, suggested travelers seek out either Webster’s Falls, within the Spencer Gorge Wilderness Area; or Tiffany Falls, which has a viewing platform.

At 72 feet and 69 feet, respectively, they’re two of the area's largest cascades. And hey, if you see both, you almost saw the full height of Niagra's 167 feet—right?
